How to write a LinkedIn headline
- 01
Put your job title first
Recruiters search LinkedIn by job title. "Frontend Developer" at the start of your headline helps you show up.
- 02
Add skills people search for
Two or three specialties, separated by | or ·. Use the words in the job posts you want.
- 03
Say who you help, if you can
"Helping startups ship faster" or "Making payroll painless for small businesses" makes you memorable.
- 04
Skip the fluff
No "guru", "ninja" or a row of emojis. You have 220 characters; spend them on words people search for.

Questions
- How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
- Up to 220 characters. Search results and comments show only the start, so put your job title and best keyword first.
- Should I write "open to work" in my headline?
- You can, but LinkedIn's Open to Work setting does that without using headline space. Use the headline for the role you want instead.
- Should my headline match my resume?
- Yes. The same title and key skills on both make you look consistent to recruiters who check both.
- Is this LinkedIn headline generator free?
- Yes, no sign-up. You get 10 free generations a day across our free tools.
